Update on my Mother

As all of you know, my mom's knee is messed up. Last Wednesday she had surgery and had 3 screws put in. She had a broken knee cap, both sides of the meniscus were messed up, and had part of another leg bone broken. All in all the surgery took 2 1/2 to 3 hours. The surgeon said that she thought it went well and was very pleased with how everything went. Thursday we took my mom home and that was interesting. My dad and I had to help her up 15 stairs. On Tuesdays and Thursdays she has to go back to the doctor for a check up. She can't put any weight on her leg for 6 weeks and then has 4 to 6 months of physical therapy. Things are interesting but going well. I want to express my appreciation to any and all of you that care. I will be keeping everyone updated on this situation as soon as something changes.
